...this is a great example of a power-to-weight ratio at the far right of lunacy. This Datsun 240Z is running a supercharged V8 and (if I remember correctly) is pulling 10-second passes at the strip. Awesome sound, ridiculous power, and an ***-clenching ride for sure (observe how it will lay rubber when going highway speeds, with just a romp on the loud pedal):

And just because this was one of my all-time favorite Datsun Z cars, here's Greg Dupree's 280ZX running a Z32 twin turbo engine, pulling a 10.0 @140mph at Fontana:

Yeah it's a nasty ride. Looks almost stock (or at least stock enough that you wouldn't suspect the suitcase nuke he's got under the hood), but that thing has a serious mean streak.

The guy in the first video lives in the SF Bay Area. A guy that I went to school with knows the owner of the Z who stuck the Chevy engine in there, and has even had a ride in it. By the way, the first clip is at least 3-4 years old.
